Ope.
earldebuke 11:29am
Ok. Nice but long visit
shadylady 1:18pm
Kinda early, too. Glad it was nice though.
earldebuke 1:25pm
It was. How are you?
shadylady 1:47pm
Not bad! Getting things done. Trying to come up with a punchy intro to a post about SharePoint.
earldebuke 2:20pm
bit distracted here stil
shadylady 2:48pm
No worries. I got the intro sorted.
rae 4:01pm
Ever use ChatGPT Shady?
shadylady 4:12pm
I have; I have ethical concerns but acknowledge it can be a great place to start.
rae 4:15pm
I think it's a great tool. Not a replacement, but for a starting point or refinement of text, a great time saver
shadylady 4:19pm
I will admit, I used it to compose the reason to change Thing2's class schedule this year.
earldebuke 4:24pm
Mixed feelings about it. But it's interesting
shadylady 4:27pm
I'm going to be AFK tonight as well; taking Thing1 for a facial and hey! As long as I'm there, a massage for me.
catnik 4:29pm
wheeee
catnik 4:29pm
i could use a massage
shadylady 4:30pm
Hi Cat!
shadylady 4:30pm
How's the haggis?
catnik 4:30pm
though the "every day is leg day in Scotland" song seems to be paying off
catnik 4:30pm
I hurt less today!
catnik 4:30pm
Had it once, it tastes like scrapple
catnik 4:30pm
TODAY I had a solo adventure
catnik 4:31pm
I took a train to Dunbar and explored
catnik 4:31pm
I talked to a lot of folks, mostly old men on walks who wanted to share stories
rae 4:31pm
How lovely!
catnik 4:32pm
Seriously
catnik 4:32pm
Dunbar DOES have a "tourist" center, it's one room on high st
catnik 4:32pm
I got postcards
catnik 4:32pm
But it was otherwise just remarkably genuine
catnik 4:33pm
John Muir was born there
catnik 4:34pm
(Established Yosemite & laid the foundation for other national parks, founded the Sierra club)
catnik 4:34pm
but the SEEEAAAAAA
catnik 4:34pm
omg, I understand selkies
earldebuke 4:35pm
Hey Catnik! 🙂
catnik 4:35pm
earldebuke 4:35pm
Oh hey you are at John Muir's birthplace? I have a friend who will be jelly
catnik 4:36pm
rae 4:36pm
Is the water swimable anywhere you've been?
earldebuke 4:36pm
Ok. I'm Jealous too 🙂
earldebuke 4:36pm
Alas leaving soon
catnik 4:38pm
It hasn't been, also, no swimsuit
catnik 4:38pm
there was a swimmable beach a bit up from the rocky stuff
rae 4:38pm
apparently Scotland is a destination for 'wild swimming' which apparently is a thing!
catnik 4:38pm
i bet!!
catnik 4:38pm
The Dunbar shore is quite dangerous, and the harbor is tricky to navigate
catnik 4:39pm
those were low tide - lots of rocks
rae 4:39pm
It says that even in summer the water is Very Cold and they recommend a wet suit for long excursions. Even so, Cat, I recommend finding a place to at least wade in if you can
rae 4:39pm
splash the scotland saltwater on your toesies
earldebuke 4:40pm
And if you meet a handsome fellow with soulful eyes and an odd sealskin belt... steal the belt and run!
earldebuke 4:40pm
then take to the water, put it on....oh wait we'd miss you. Nevermind 😉
